BSD, the only WalMart & target I’ve been in over the past 5 ears are down in Philly.
The WalMart is absolute HELL ON EARTH with dumbass, rude, stupid customers and employees. The Target, not more than 200-300 yards down the street was pleasant and a nice place to shop.
I’ve never been in the AT target and never plan to step foot in anyplace in AT. It sounds like a hellhole.
I saw an interview last night with the women who filed the class action suit against WalMart. The suit was filed for when they worked there over a decade ago. Even the women filing suit agreed that WalMart employment practices are NOW quite good.
The unions can just go F&^ck themselves. You can’t have it both ways, kiddies. If WalMart is unionized the prices go WAY up.
“What makes you think I wasn’t talking about yours truly, Tall Mean Woman?”
That’s a given! : P [Putting on my handyman outfit to attack long list of tent tenant’s outrageous requests!]
Dear WalMart, please come, and don’t be like Target in A.T. I went to the Target in White Plains this morning (after the gym) and it’s a JOY to be in compared to the one in A.T.
I’m sure the local residents and DDDB will get the pressure put on the dumptrucks to move. I’m still in support of AY but the price of houses near there is going to take a dirtnap for quite some time.
right epson, especially in East New York, where both job opportunities and shopping are limited.
And look who appears on cue! What makes you think I wasn’t talking about yours truly, Tall Mean Woman?
etson – my union brothers and sisters would disagree with you. however, I would be VERY happy if a walmart opened nearby. Especially a supercenter one with a the huge supermarket… 15 choices of “Texas Toast” in the freezer section.
An AY problem with stubborn guys refusing to move?
Just pay em enough and they’ll move – like that dude who founded DDDB.
